Hi , Im new to this site , ( just joined )So , i thought i would post some information about myself.My name is Dave I am 55 years young.My intrests are Music , playing Shadows tunes with my friend Ron , our name is The Ghost Riders, we have been playing gigs for a few years now , and we love what we do.We dont do gigs for the money , we play them because we love what we do, and enjoy it very much.We were recently joined by a vocalist which gives us another dimension to our playing.My gear consists of

Welcome, Dave.Hope you enjoy it here!Glad to hear that you "get out and do a bit" - there's more to this "Keeping The Shads sound alive" than twiddling knobs (Oooh-er, Missus!! ) in the privacy of your own "home studio". Like you and your mate Ron, we ("Life Story" - our family Band) do it just for the hell of it, as well as raising a bob-or-two for good causes. We even did a gig in your neck of the woods - well Beamish actually - last January. As I'm "only a Drummer", details of your gear (apart from the Strat - my son, also Dave, has a similar model) are way above my head, but I'm sure that one of the "techies" around here will be along soon! Keep up the good work, and have a very merry Christmas.RegardsPaul

Hi Paul, Thanx for the welcome message , and i know all about the Beamish gig you did ,, We were asked to play in the same venue and on the same day , but seeing as your band were due to play , we declined the offer ,, oh well , nevermind .We thought that having 2 bands playing Shadows music would have been a bit over the top , I know Twang46 ( Dick) who helped organise the event pretty well , he sometimes comes up to the club where we practice to see us play .He is also a member on our Shadows site, (no plug intended).Anyway ,, thanx again Paul ,, nice to be here.
